(To be continued reverse page)
SETTING PROCEDURES
Notes:
• The CAMERA ID stops at the edges of the monitor screen.
• The CAMERA ID moves faster if any of
L / R / U / D is kept pressed for a second or
more.
2. Light Control Setting (ALC/ELC)
You can select the mode for adjusting the lens iris.
ALC: If you use the auto iris lens, select this parameter.
ELC: If you use a fixed or manual iris lens, select this parameter.
The factory default setting is ALC.
1. Move the cursor to ALC/ELC.
2. Select ALC or ELC.
Cautions:
1. Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an ALC type lens because the
ELC control range is not wide enough under these conditions.
2. Use an ALC type lens if the following phenomena occur:
• Strong smear and/or blooming on highlight objects such as spotlight or sunlight
from windows.
• Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations.
3. If ELC is selected, SUPER-D2 and SHUTTER are not available and white balance mode
is automatically set to ATW1 or ATW2 previously set.
4. If ELC is selected for ALC/ELC and used with the fixed iris lens in, the focal depth
becomes shallower than with the ALC type lens. Therefore, the range of focus-to-object
distance becomes narrower.
2-1. ALC Mode with SUPER-D2 ON
Super Dynamic 2 Function (SUPER-D2)
The important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor screen. In the
SUPER-D2 mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the
important object is located) than to the edge of the screen (where a bright backlight would
most likely be located). You can use the SUPER-D2 function if you select ALC. It eliminates
interference by strong background lighting which makes the camera picture dark, such as a
spotlight.
1. Select ALC, and press SET . The ALC
CONT menu appears.
2. Move the cursor to SUPER-D2 and
select ON.
3. If you want to adjust the video output level, move the "I" cursor for LEVEL. Adjust to the
desired level by pressing L or R .
